by Cathy Droz, Founder – HER Certified From the Ritz to the Ranch in the Toyota Tundra It isn’t every day I get to test drive a truck. I estimate I drive about eight per year for manufacturers. I evaluate and review them based on my personal criteria as well as other women’s feedback. As […]
by Melanie Droz Sleeping in the Scion The new trend with my generation of young families is camping, caravanning, glamping… staying out in the wilderness with little protection from nature.

A weekend road trip with my hubby in a convertible with no grandkids?! Let’s go! I adore my grandkids and loved the road trip we took to Disneyland this last summer, but a quiet weekend and a drive in a fast, fun car, is surely needed from time to time. The Mazda MX-5 Miata hit […]
Let’s Go Places… Like the Nutcracker! My adventures this past year have been a bit over the top, even for me.
